So who would win in a fight, Star Killer or Raiden?
Well if we are talking lightsabers might as well post some pics.
Easily my favourite of all the designs.

I've got some Kel-Tec porn to share.

Kel-Tecs have a reputation for being complete shit. The Kel-Tec KSGs are HORRIBLE shotguns and have caused more injuries than they have worked in the civilian market, most of the time the handle breaks off during a trigger pull. Kel-Tec praises plastic to the masses, the PF9s magazine release is made of plastic. Kel-Tec is a company that lives by quantity over quality.
Then there's... this.

There's a vendor at the gun shows I work at and he sells nothing but Kel-Tecs, he has not sold anything in the 7 years he's been there. He's a dick too, he tells customers that Kel-Tecs will beat Colts or Smith&Wessons every time. BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. He has the venomus mentality that a lot of cheap gun owners have, they compare a $200 gun to a $1,000 gun. I owned a Hi-Point for a time and I never told people it was the best thing ever, it's good for what it is a $175 9mm. I'd be retarded to say it's better than a $800 9mm Glock. You can't compare a cheap gun to a moderate priced or expensive gun.
I've tested a Hi-Point C9 and a Kel-Tec PF9. The Hi-Point shit all over the Kel-Tec, less jams, a tad bit more accurate and much more reliable. If you're in the market for cheap, ugly ass guns get a Hi-Point, they have a lifetime warranty on them and they are the poor mans Glock. They do exactly what they are supposed to do, go "bang." They are also great for first time gun owners to take to the range and get familiar with the basics of pistols, and you get to say you own the ugliest pistol in the world.

If you don't want a Hi-Point but still want a cheap gun, grab a Jimenez. A slight bit more accurate than the Hi-Point.

Just heard in the news that we are finally getting some changes to the laws about knives.
You see. Currently owning a knife is equal to you being a twisted serial killer according to the law.
This is being changed for the better. Carrying a knife while partying in a club, bar etc will give a more severe punishment, and hunters/fishermen will again be allowed to carry a knife.
[QUOTE=Paxton;49361674]Kel-Tecs have a reputation for being complete shit until you feed a retarded amount of rounds (usually between 1,500 and 4,500 rounds) in it before it actually works like a firearm.

Kel-Tec praises plastic to the masses, the PF9s magazine release is made of plastic and the magazines usually have to be fed between 200 and 300 rounds before it works probably in releasing. Kel-Tec is a company that lives by quantity over quality, unless it's a Police Officer market or guards then they will go out of their way to make that batch quality.

As an owner of a KSG I'm mixed about it. I won't lie it's an unreliable broken piece of $1,000 shit and I bought it brand new. It suffered crippling malfunctions out of the box like the chamber being parkerized so spent shells wouldn't eject unless you banged the slide again a table or something to force the shell out and that bends the slide arms and took a chip out my loading ramp. I fixed that by polishing and honing it but than I had my magazine followers binding and getting chewed up on the magazine viewing port holes. So I bought new followers and fixed that. Now I'm currently trying to get reliable magazine feed because brand new from the factory the magazine springs were two different sizes.
But as a design and concept the KSG is the best shotgun I've ever held. I'd compare George Kellgren to John Browning in innovative new gun designs. As far as the 21st Century is concerned there aren't too many other companies that push the envelope as much as Kel-Tec does. When their guns work they're unmatched and have no natural predators but the fucking terrible production and quality control means I'll never buy one again.
Kel-Tec guns are like Rain Man. They're brilliant on the inside but they can't function in society.
[QUOTE=Sitkero;49345453]That and the projector thingbobs are vulnerable so it can't even serve in a blocking capacity[/QUOTE]
The shroud around the crossguard beams are likely made of cortosis, which is lightaber resistant, and even if they're not, the blade doesn't start at the end of the shroud. There's still the beam on the inside of them. So it's not like it can get cut through.

The shrouds are there to make sure your hand doesn't slide into the crossguard blades.

They do look neat. At the shop/range I go to they had one for sale and I asked to see it, after looking and pumping it a few times I asked who it was from since I couldn't see a marking yet and he said "Kel-Tec." I couldn't throw the thing back at him fast enough, I even went "Uuuuugggggghhhhhhhh." He was laughing and nodding his head and said "Yeah we will never sell this." Kel-Tec needs to just stop making firearms all together. Even if only 1 out of 100 Kel-Tecs broke that would still be an astronomically high failure rate, but it's closer to 30 out of 100. Even Kel-Tecs own forms are filled with threads of "How do I keep it from breaking?" "It broke again." "Can you fix it?"
My favorite is when people try to defend them. "WELL MR. ZIMMERMAN USED ONE AND IT WORKED!" Yeah, and it jammed and broke after the first shot, the casing never ejected. Kel-Tecs are going to get people killed they need to just stop until they can make one that actually works. With most firearms everytime you fire it you're closer to breaking it in and giving it age, with Kel-Tecs you're just one more shot from it breaking. When Kel-Tec even demos a gun it breaks during demos, they will put quality guns out for police and guards but everyone else gets the real Kel-Tec "quality."
Here's a video of how bad the shotgun is.

I'd trust this more than a Kel-Tec.

Can you provide a link? I searched, but had a hard time finding recent news. Just so you know, fishermen and hunters have been allowed to carry for the past years, but only during actual fishing or hunting.

Yeah I know. It also seems I was a bit too fast on the keyboard there. A politician has suggested the law being rewritten so hunters and fishers will have an easier time with carrying knives.

Looks like they tried to stop pigeons from landing on the hatch.
Looks like they tried to stop anyone from entering or leaving the tank.
Fuck having to bail out of that thing in a hurry.

This seems like a reasonable future soldier equipment system. No fancy gadgets, just modular, scalable equipment and an interesting looking spinal load bearing system. I wonder how long it'll take them to actually get it out to everyone
I'd hate being in a Sherman in the first place, especially in the Pacific Theater where every attack is a hide and seek game

after a little research, as you can see, the cannon didn't have a bore evacuator so it was common to crack tank hatches a little to evacuate back blast gasses. The spikes prevented the Japanese from clamoring onto the top of the tank and throw a grenade inside, And since the Japanese didn't really have any anti tank weaponry and had to rely on magnetic bombs, it also allowed the bombs to roll off of the hatches where armor is particularly weak.

[QUOTE]Zimmerit was a paste-like coating used on mid- and late-war German armored fighting vehicles during World War II. It was used to produce a hard layer covering the metal armor of the vehicle, providing enough separation that magnetically attached anti-tank mines would fail to stick to the vehicle, although Germany was the only country to use magnetic anti-tank mines in numbers. Zimmerit was often left off late-war vehicles due to the unfounded concern that it could catch on fire when hit.
Applying and drying the paste added days to the production of each vehicle,[2] which was unacceptable as there was a shortage of tanks.[/QUOTE]
